I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 127 Peach Blossom Beauty Makeup ([-])
According to Shantao’s confession, she often came to deliver food to Pei’s family, and she often saw Mr. Pei meditating while painting, and she felt admiration for her. He also often praised her as her name, and she was born with a pink-faced peach blossom. Familiar with each other, Mrs. Pei has no choice but to disagree with Mr. Pei's taking a concubine, and Mr. Pei has no choice but to give up because of his reputation.

As a result, Shantao felt resentful towards Mrs. Pei.

"My husband and I are in love, why should she break us up?" Shantao said bitterly, "Even if she can compose a few poems and play a few tunes, but she is already old, how can she be worthy of her husband? I just, Only Mr. Yu can be regarded as a man and woman, and I am the most brilliant peach blossom in Mr.'s brush. What is she? She is not worthy!"

So brazen, so righteous, and so brazen!
Gu Buquan stared at Shantao's face for a long time, young and beautiful, with moist skin, it can be called a mountain peach blossom that has just bloomed, no wonder she is so arrogant.

For a woman, youth may be a proud capital, but it is not inexhaustible.

She said coldly: "Have you ever thought that Mrs. Pei was also the most brilliant flower painted by Mr. Pei? You are younger and more beautiful than Mrs. Pei this year, but have you ever thought about being 28 or 38 years old? "

Shantao was taken aback, probably because he really hadn't thought about it.

"Yeah!" Lord Zhou coughed fiercely, "You little lady, I tell you, a man's heart has never been the brightest, only brighter hahaha..."

Feeling a little disrespectful, she stopped her laughter and sternly shouted, "So, Bold Shantao, you hated Mrs. Pei because of jealousy, and hated Mr. Pei because of love, so you poisoned them so cruelly, yes No? Hurry up and do it!"

"No, my lord is wronged." Shantao cried out.

"I respect Mr. Pei so much, and I regard him as more important than my own life. How can I have the heart to harm him? As for that woman..."

She glanced at the yard, still with disdain on her face, "Although I hate her, I would never dare to kill her. I just, I just told my husband that I hate her and don't want to see her."

"Later, my husband asked me to send some narcissus over from time to time. I thought that my husband wanted to grow flowers, so I did as he asked. As for what happened later, I really don't know anything about it."

Shantao pushed everything away, and said, "Mrs. Pei wipes and tests the brushes for Mr. every day. She must have put poison on the brushes. It was she, the one who killed Mr., and she deserves to die!"

"Yesterday, was it a special day?" Gu Buquan asked after being silent for a long time.

"Yes...it's the third anniversary of their marriage." Shantao murmured.

Gu Buquan nodded, "That's it."

"Since Mr. and Mrs. Pei came to order coffins three days in advance, they planned to kill each other. Mrs. Pei knew that her husband had the habit of biting pens, so she poisoned the end of the pen, causing Mr. Pei to die when he was painting. She died. After she finished all this, she sat down to play the piano. Maybe she was too excited, or maybe it was other reasons. poisoned to the point of sudden death."

"That's why half an hour before the incident, the neighbors still heard the sound of the piano. At this time, Mr. Pei's body was completely cold, and Mrs. Pei was still warm."

"So I infer that the murderer in this case is themselves."

"So, the Pei family died at the hands of each other, and it has nothing to do with this mountain peach?" Master Zhou asked.

Gu Buquan nodded, "From a legal point of view, it has nothing to do with her. But whether it really matters or not, you have to ask her own conscience."

She sat limply, resting her head on Ling An.

The case made her very uncomfortable.

But Ling An's eyes stayed on Mr. Pei's last posthumous work on the painting table for a long time.

In the painting, a tree of peach blossoms protrudes obliquely from the cliff, and accompanied by the flying peach petals, there are white dots like snowflakes flying.

"I've been," he murmured.

Walking through the yard, looking at the peach blossom makeup on Mrs. Pei's forehead, he muttered to himself again.

"I have seen."

He suddenly took Gu Buquan's hand and said, "Don't you want to plant peach trees to enjoy the flowers and eat peaches? I will take you to a wonderful place where you can enjoy the peach blossoms right in front of your house."

Gu Buquan was dragged by Ling An and ran outside the door, only to remember that Master Zhou was still scratching his head facing Shantao inside the room.

"My lord, the case has been solved, whether the little girl's deduction is reasonable, and how to sentence you is up to you."

Winding twenty miles west of Beijing, there is a small empty village.

The gates of each house are open, but everyone in the village has disappeared without a trace, not even a chicken or a dog, only the mountain rats are raging, they are all skinny, and there is no food to find.

Looking up, you can see the opposite cliff, the peach blossoms on the top of the cliff are in full bloom, especially the peach blossoms on the slope of the cliff are very brilliant, the pink petals are accompanied by the heavy snow.

Beautiful and weird.

The scene in front of me is exactly the same as Mr. Pei's painting, the slanting peach tree, branches and branches are all exactly the same.

"Is this the Taozhuang that is isolated from the world in the legend? I heard from the owner of the noodle stall that a king who experienced many battles died in Taoshan. His clan buried his bones and countless treasures on the cliff together. Among the cliffs, they have guarded each other for generations, and Taozhuang is the descendant of the tomb guards. I wonder if these legends are true or not?"

Ling An shook his head, "I don't know if the legend of Dawang Tomb is true or not, but Taozhuang is not a legend. It is not completely isolated from the world, and they also marry people from outside the mountains. Moreover, this village is rare in the world where women have the final say, and the wedding must be blessed by an elderly woman, and the new couple will be considered complete."

"Really?" Gu Buquan's eyes lit up immediately, "Is there such a good place? Can a woman be the master of the house?"

He nodded: "The peach blossom makeup on Mrs. Pei's forehead reminded me of this. I think she should be a woman from Taozhuang. Mr. Pei's painting also proves that he has been here, or he is also from Taozhuang, but They left early, at least before the Taozhuang accident."

"I came to this village a few years ago for investigating cases. The old and young women and children here are all kind and friendly, and the women are bright and love to laugh. At that time, the wild peach blossoms on the top of the cliff were usually blooming in the warm season, and the women liked to stick the peach petals on them. On the forehead or on the cheeks, everyone looks beautiful."

He smiled and said to Gu Buquan: "At that time, I thought, if I have a beloved woman in the future, I will bring her here, enjoy peach blossoms in spring and snow in winter, give birth to a group of babies, and put peach petals on the girl's forehead. The whole family is cooking tea around the stove and talking homely..."

Gu Buquan squinted at him, "At that time when the world's number one god arrester came to Taozhuang, there wasn't any young woman who fell in love with you?"

"Yes, there are more than one." He also looked at her, smiling badly, "The old lady told me that if you marry a woman from Taozhuang, you must swear to be loyal to each other for the rest of your life. It’s an ugly death, but it’s what you say. I thought about it, and forget it.”

Gu Buquan opened his mouth for a long time and didn't close it, so he burst out laughing.

"Guess why I came to Taozhuang to investigate the case at that time? It was because the woman in Taozhuang cut off the head of the heartbroken man and brought it back to Taozhuang. That's why I traced it so far. They are all kind, but they can't be bullied, especially women. , they are both charming and heroic, which makes me willing to believe that they are the descendants of the heroic king."

Coincidentally, she and he both thought of the glamorous Mrs. Pei.

That day when Pei's couple came to Luoyanpo to order coffins, they all looked so peaceful and spoke politely, elegantly and kindly, but they didn't know that they both had murderous intentions to kill each other.

But why choose the seventh anniversary of marriage?Is it a big sin to get married?
They must have loved each other very much. The vows they made when they got married were to be kept with their lives. Mrs. Pei really did what she said, but she didn't expect that the one who paid the price with her life included herself.

Ling An patted Gu Buquan's head, and said: "It's not a crime to get married, and it's not a crime to love each other. The one that's guilty is killing. If you don't love anymore, you can be happy with each other. Why bother to hurt others and yourself?"

"If one day you don't like me anymore, please tell me." She looked into his eyes and said.

"Will you kill me too?" he asked.

She shook her head: "For you, there are ifs. For me, there are no ifs. I like you, and I will never hurt you, but I will definitely use your most painful way to make you remember me."

She smiled and said the cruelest words, "That is, forget you, just like you once forgot me."

He took her hand and held it tightly, and pointed to the peach tree that slanted out on the opposite cliff.

"That's where I jumped off the cliff. I hung on that tree for an unknown amount of time before the branch broke and fell into the sea. So, I regard it as my lucky tree. Now, I swear by the lucky tree... Well, I don’t want to say anything else, I just want to tell you that if it is there, I will be there, if it is not, I will still be there, because Taoshan will always be there.”

"What kind of oath is this?" She pouted.

"Well, I actually want to say that the mountains have no edges, the sky and the earth are united, and the sea is boundless..."

"This doesn't look like a fool at all, it's clearly the glib Ling An."

"What should the idiot say?"

"The idiot would say..." She thought for a while, "The idiot would say, build a coffin for me for the rest of my life."

Uh……

"Black-hearted boss." Ling An stroked his forehead and sighed, and asked again, "I only thought about selling coffins, why didn't I think about being the wife of the chief?"

"Madam in charge?"

"En." Ling An said, "My father was the head of the Jingzhao Shenhun Division when he was alive. Since I was a child, I vowed to be the same as my father. When I become the head, you will naturally be the head. Madame."

"Mrs. Zhang Si." Gu Buquan muttered, joy in his heart, and said shyly, "What are you, I am that kind of wife, just live well."

No matter what the mountains are without edges, the best thing is to live well with the one you love.

Back then when she rescued him at the seaside, she never thought about being the wife of the chief.
